Bill > SCR223

This resolution requests the Hawaii Department of Health to establish and maintain a comprehensive tire inventory database by partnering with motor vehicle tire retailers. The resolution highlights the significant environmental and health concerns surrounding illegal tire dumping, including the potential for creating pest habitats, fire hazards, and toxic chemical leaching. Specifically, the Department of Health would be asked to collect and store detailed information about each tire sold, including the model and serial number, the purchaser's name, and the date of sale. The goal is to create a coordinated tracking system that can help hold tire owners accountable for proper disposal and prevent illegal abandonment of motor vehicle tires on public and private properties. The resolution acknowledges the current lack of a systematic approach to tire tracking and aims to address this issue by implementing a centralized database that can be maintained for a certain number of years.
